- ehnto 1y agoI wonder if it has to do with accessibility API thread locking. I found a different extension I used to emulate an i3 style environment suffered when I used the Unity game engine. It ended up being limitations of the accessibility API.
- sooheon 1y agoCould be, but there is another app that does the same thing faster so there must be some optimizations available.
- ashton314 1y agoThis delay is configurable. The delay is there so you can actually type a bit before the UI pops up, and then the UI will be filtered to just your selection.
- sooheon 1y agoThe configuration lies. Even with "Show hints" set to "Immediately", there is a long delay. Feels like half a second on M1 Pro.
- ashton314 1y agoFair, fair—it's default is longer, so dialing it down made it feel zippy by comparison. I'm trying out Homerow and I'm really liking it! Thanks for mentioning it. I might end up sticking with it actually.
